The menu featured "tofish" and chips, and I was pleased with the service and cleanliness of the establishment. My order consisted of tofish, chips, gravy, and mushy peas. The tofish was simply a cube of silk tofu that had been deep fried in batter. As all vegans know, tofu can be bland and flavorless if not prepared correctly. In this case, the tofu lacked flavor. The chips were vegan-friendly, as they are cooked separately from meat and fish products, and the gravy was also plant-based.

The staff were very helpful and explained that all the sides were vegan and gluten free and they use separate fryers. The chips were delicious so we returned the following week to try the restaurant. Again, very friendly staff. The portion size was great, four pieces of battered tofu and a large portion of chips and the sides (curry, gravy and mushy peas) were delicious. There is plenty of gluten free options also which was a bonus for me, and even the vinegar is gluten free.

Nice to find a vegan option and easy to read Allergens menu shows a lot of pages are vegan too. Also do Hiumi for Veggies. Now only a vegan dessert needs! read more Nice to find a vegan option and easy to read Allergens menu shows a lot of pages are vegan too. Also do Hiumi for Veggies. Now only a vegan dessert needs!

Poor hygiene (hair with chips) The "fish" option was however tofu battered and fritted without trying to make it "fishery" as most other restaurants do. If it is your only option, then it is edible, but overall I would not recommend it.
